Sports Research Is on this list with an IFOS tag. They are without a doubt, hands down, the best bang for your buck, AND their fish oils are of triglyceride form, which means you're getting all the brain benefits as well.

​

I've been spending years trying to find the best fish oil for its price, and Sports Research has won. It's cheaper than all these more expensive products people have been mention, and is still very good quality.

u/squidboots · 5 pointsr/Fitness

NP :)

I have done a lot of research into fish oils (I hope it shows!), and settled on these guys (and here is the label). I take three a day, which gives you the recommended dose of EPA and DHA for treating depression and also gives you 100% DV of vitamin E.

I'm very happy with that product for quality and value, but really any highly-refined omega-3 fish oil concentrate tested for heavy metals and pollutants will do the same thing.

u/Bilbo_Fraggins · 4 pointsr/ADHD

Have not tried exactly, and the research is not real strong and only on kids so far.

I do take a high quality fish oil and Phosphatidyl Serine, which is basically the same. Can't say I've seen much benefit, but they're pretty cheap and not bad things from a health perspective anyway.

On the other hand, I think I will probably drop the phosphatidyl serine when my supply runs out, as it is still a bit of money for not much benefit, but the fish oil I will stay with, cheaper and has other health benefits.

u/Murcus · 4 pointsr/gainit

Supplements and a bunch of pills is not necessary. I read this guy's book and he pretty much lays it out for ya. He recommends only Gainers and Protein Shakes. Pills and such are just a way to empty your wallet fast!

A lot of people on this sub really like this Gainer and this "Gold Standard Whey" ... Fish Oil is a De-inflamatory and helps to reduce muscle soreness. Those are the three I use.

Search this subreddit if in doubt, and do some research. Unfortunately a lot of the crap online is catered toward helping fat people loose weight. Find communities (like this one) and get advice straight from the skinny guys who have gotten bigger.

And if you're diet doesn't include every vitamin, start taking multi vitamins. You must be healthy, not just mad. Initially since you weigh 100Lbs you may want to do the Seefood diet: You see food, you eat food.

DO NOT GIVE UP! I let work get me down last year (working 150+hours a week) and stopped lifting. All I had time for was running. I finally got back into lifting this month. I could be pretty set right now if I kept at it.

u/applextrent · 3 pointsr/Supplements

As someone with mood issues most of my life, I can relate, but it sounds like you have something more going on then just depression.

Depression with agitation and suicidal ideation can be indicative of anything from bipolar spectrum to autism spectrum to just simply needing a vacation, and requires a proper diagnosis (hence why you should figure this out in therapy before taking drugs or supplements for that matter).

The fact SSRIs are making you more agitated in a different way is also counter intuitive to the issues you're trying to address, and as I said will likely get worse the longer you keep taking meds. At most you likely need herbs or something mellow to help calm you down, and help you relax, not amp you up.

You clearly have a lot on your plate with kids, and wife. So what you need to figure out is what is the source of your agitation?

Are you stressed out? Not enough money? In debt? Not sleeping enough? Poor diet? Too much fast food? Burnt out from work? Need to rekindle things with your wife? (No need to answer these publicly, just something for you to think about.)

You need to ask yourself these kinds of questions and figure out what is going on. Taking substances to solve your problems isn't going to actually solve them, even if they're from a doctor.

That's why meditation is so important, it gives your mind the ability to take a break, as well as allows you the ability to tap into your intuition and focus on whats really important to you. I really recommend a meditation application that can help guide you through the process. I personally use Headspace but theres a few others out there that are free.

As for your psychiatrist, they are in the business of pushing drugs on people. That's their job, that is what you're paying them for, so keep that in mind. Trust your intuition, and listen to your body. If something doesn't feel right to you, then pay attention, and don't just disregard it.

As for a psychologist, a month is not enough time to determine anything. If you don't like your psychologist then find another one. It could take a few different psychologists to find one you like, try mixing things up. If your current psychologist is a man, maybe try a woman? Or vice versa. I tend to do better with female therapists for some reason, not sure why.

Anyhow, it might take months or even years of therapy to work through some issues, there is no easy fix, and you should be suspicious of anyone who claims to have an easy fix.

Everything I'm recommending to you is hard, from meditating daily, to working out, and eating properly. These things take determination, and follow through.

When it comes to food, this is also a major one. For example, I cannot eat a lot of carbs or sugar, or caffeine. Stimulants make me agitated. I now mostly just eat organic meats, salads, and veggies. No breads, pastas, processed foods, fast food, etc. I drink herbal teas now, and when I'm tired I meditate, or nap instead of trying to push through it. Sleep is also critical to mental health and needs to be prioritized. It's amazing how much better your brain functions when you're actually relaxed.

As for supplements, if you are going to take anything, I would highly recommend omega-fatty 3 acids with vitamin d. The recommended doses are typically pretty low, and for more severe cases like yours its better to take higher doses. I take 4 of these fish oil with vitamin D per day every morning: http://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Naturals-Ultimate-Omega-D3-Supports/dp/B002CQU550

The recommended dose is 2 per day, but it wasn't enough for my brain. Anything over 4 per day and I start to get a little dizzy, so you might have to play around with it and find what works for you. Omega fatty 3 acids have been shown to reduce agitation in some individuals (although they don't work for everyone).

Anyhow, good luck, and let your wife know you're working on it and committed to figuring this out and just need some time. Let her know the drugs may not be the best option and you're looking for other solutions. Show her that you care, and are working on it, and most importantly let her know that not only are you doing this for her, but yourself as well.

u/Hail_Zeus · 2 pointsr/Fitness

Good fish oil brand?

I was thinking this or this - latter being the better deal

u/Idyotec · 2 pointsr/ketochow

Like others have said, eating fish depends on how strict of a vegetarian you are. I eat These which are made from lab-grown algae.

u/sweetpea122 · 2 pointsr/bipolar

I got lemon flavored ones. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FOVLXYW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This was the best value I found bc you need 3 to get my dose. Others seemed like the epa and dha was way less so id need way more pills.

u/lil-baby-gemini-man · 2 pointsr/BabyBumps

I found the prenatals with iron made me feel really crummy (even when taken with food or at night). I’ve been alternating between Olly Prenatal Gummies and Whole Foods / 365 Gummies (they have the same amounts of each vitamin and are both yummy).

I live in the PNW and Vitamin D deficiency is a real issue up here, so I’ve been taking an extra vitamin D gummy as well (doc gave me a high five when I told her).

Also on days that I don’t eat fish (which is most days these days) I’ll do a couple tbsp of Barlean’s Omega Swirl Fish Oil. The lemon flavor is DELISH. No fishy taste or aftertaste. Can’t really get too much fish oil, great for your joints and baby’s neural development.

ETA: because I’m not doing Iron supplements I try to eat plenty of iron-rich foods, and if you pair it with a vitamin C-rich food you’ll have better absorption.

u/AirmanSpecial · 2 pointsr/lgbt

The only thing that helped me was taking fish oil capsules. They're anti-inflammatory, so they help fight off your pooper inflammation. I take three of these daily and I had no problems at all after a few days or a week or whatever.

Any brand should be fine, just research to make sure that they are purified of mercury and have a good amount of EPA and DHA which are the Omega-3 acids your body needs. ALA is not nearly as useful, even though it's also an Omega-3 acid.

YMMV, and this is only anecdotal advice, but I noticed a quick and drastic effect after I started taking fish oil. Worst case, it has a million other good effects on your body too.

u/redoran · 2 pointsr/Fitness

I was curious, so here are the numbers:

  • Protein shake x2 = $2.78

  • Protein bar x2 = $4.16

  • Fish oil x2 = $0.30

    All the other supplements are unnecessary IMO. I estimate ~$8 for the other foods listed per day, so that's a total of $15.24/day or $457.20/month.

    Not insanely expensive, but certainly not cheap.
u/TheEndsOfInvention · 2 pointsr/veganfitness
u/suhailj25 · 2 pointsr/Accutane

This one is the one I’ve been using and it’s worked great for me. It is a little pricey but nothing I’ve found has been better than this one for sure.

u/penecow290 · 2 pointsr/PlantBasedDiet

I have these on subscribe and save, they recently rebranded but seem to be the same. Carageenan free and you only need to take 1 to meet Greger's recommended dose.

u/angiemo2419 · 2 pointsr/Interstitialcystitis

I have had the same yucky experience with fish oil with lemon. Gross!! I'd been taking Now brand omega 3 from Amazon for years with absolutely zero fishy taste. I only tried the fish oil with lemon recently because it was cheaper. NEVER AGAIN! I'll attach the Amazon link. I promise you'll like it 1,000 % betterAmazon omegas

Good luck!!

This would last you two months. Nordic Naturals makes one of the best fish oils on the market.

u/poNzi_ · 2 pointsr/Paleo

Sorry I meant to say some kind of meat or fish.

Also, I am supplementing with 2 Carlson's Fish Oil pills twice daily (each pill has 300 epa 200 dha).

Dessicated Liver Powder is just beef liver in powder form. The shit tastes seriously nasty but I don't have it in me to start cooking liver yet.

Good suggestion on the website as well, thanks for the response

u/Black_Magic100 · 1 pointr/Fitness

> ement industry before. And with that many ratings, you have to be skeptical. You're better off going with oximega by controlled labs for their third party testing or Now Foods ultra omega because it's very reputable. I read some of these reviews on th

Thank you for the advice, I think I am going to try this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015L2LBE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

u/andrew_kirfman · 1 pointr/Nootropics

My take on this is that you'd probably be better off buying a really high quality non-prescription fish/krill oil (krill is nice because you usually get astaxanthin along with EPA and DHA). If you get them from the right place, you can even get them from a store that refrigerates them so there's less of a chance of them being oxidized.

I personally either take Garden of Life or Nordic Naturals. This is the one that I usually take when I can afford it: source

u/edbutler3 · 1 pointr/Fitness

I use these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002W12DJ6/ref=rcxsubs_mys2_product_title

I take 2 at breakfast and 2 at night, for a total of 1600mg of EPA.

u/Oneireus · 1 pointr/LucidDreaming

Can you detail how much you take nightly on average?

I bought these because it was 100 more pills for lesser than this one.

u/AerowynX · 1 pointr/Supplements

for fish oil this is my all time favorite

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002CQU55K/ref=s9_hps_bw_g121_i2

for magnesium I like this one

http://www.amazon.com/Magnesium-IntraNaturals-Non-Buffered-Bioavailability-Absorption/dp/B010HJXQMC/ref=lp_11403915011_1_1?srs=11403915011&ie=UTF8&qid=1451873180&sr=8-1

for D3 and K2 i just use the NOW brand usually

you could stick with 2000iu but if you spend most your time indoors you are probably better off bumping it up

u/tychosdream · 1 pointr/PlantBasedDiet

https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Vegan-DHA-Supplement/dp/B003B6Y0CE

This is the one I take. I only take one a day; 250mg of DHA per soft gel.

I buy it at The Vitamin Shoppe. :)

u/vanel27 · 1 pointr/Testosterone

u/Keninishna · 1 pointr/Nootropics

The best ones I've taken so far, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RZFT1K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

can notice cognitive improvements after about a month of taking 2 pills a day.

If you decide that alternatives are okay, this is my go-to.

u/Torp211 · 1 pointr/Septemberbumpers2017

Ok...Here we go! This is a very relevant topic to me so get ready for a long reply ha!

I have cystic acne that only came up after going off of birth control a year ago. I've tried SO MANY things, but nothing worked! It wasn't until we started TTC when I was taking more vitamins that it finally got better, but it was still not great.

I found a routine that keeps it in check though and it involves Manuka Oil! My skin is in the best shape it has ever been! So here is what I found that works for me:

AM: I wash my face with Era Organics Natural Face Wash. About 3x per week I use their scrub. Then mix a little bit of Manuka Oil with CeraVe AM Moisturizer then apply Bare Minerals powder concealer.

PM: I remove my make up as soon as I get home from work with Micellar Cleansing Water and wash with the Era Organics face wash. Then I put a little bit of organic sweet almond oil along with the manuka oil on a cotton round and apply that to my face to moisturize. Sometimes I'll swap out the almond oil for CeraVe PM moisturizer, but the almond oil seems to help a little better.

Along with this routine, I take 30 mg of zinc and the recommended dose of vegan DHA every day, 5000 IU of vitamin D M-F, along with my prenatal. But I swear by the zinc. Here is a little information on why zinc helps with acne.

As for my chest and back (I get pimples there too but not cystic) I've been putting witch hazel and manuka oil on a cotton round every morning/evening and it has really helped clear it up! Granted I just started this routine a week ago so I hope it continues!!!

For someone who has struggled with this to the point of tears, I finally feel like I have it under control!!

u/Griever114 · 1 pointr/Fitness

these?

any sold directly from amazon?

u/764hero · 1 pointr/funny

You can google "diabetic room service menu" and look through what hospitals feed diabetics.

There's good ideas here: http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/nutrition/includes/documents/RSPediatricMenu.pdf

Diabetic meal plans are the same as any healthy meal plan. You should eat 4-6 15g servings of carbs per meal, depending on how many calories you need. There's a picture of the proportions of types of food to get at the bottom of the PDF.

For tiredness and depression, be sure to eat your meals, and try some caffeine. I drink a half can of pepsi with my lunch if I want a pick-me-up. Take fish oil daily. Find a fun way to get exercise into your daily schedule. The human body and brain needs a vigorous 20 minute workout almost every day to stay healthy and feeling good. Perhaps there's a beach on your drive home you can stop by for a skate, or something. You'll have to search for what you find fun.

u/otwang · 1 pointr/Supplements

I believe the brand Earthwell fish oil has exactly the ratio you are looking for, 4 to 3.

u/DaMeteor · 1 pointr/StackAdvice

No prob. I actually linked the wrong thing lol, that actually isn't a very good brand per price/pill. Here's a better one (I think at least?): https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Vegan-DHA-Supplement/dp/B003B6Y0CE/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1522893925&sr=8-7&keywords=omega+3+dha+vegan
You can prolly look around on Amazon. In terms of brain development/health alone, DHA is the only Omega that really matters. Though ALA does convert to DHA, not very much of it does.

u/Yarzospatflute · 1 pointr/Fitness

I have some of the Carlson's now, but I think when I run out I'm going to go with the Costco ones. I recently did the math and, even though I'd have to double up on the Costco ones to get as much EPA and DHA, it's still cheaper. If you do stick with the Carlson's though, get the regular ones from Amazon. You get 124 of 'em for about $16.

edit: by my math...

for the Carlson's that I linked to, it's 4,034mg of both EPA and DHA per dollar (124 capsules x 500mg/capsule @ $15.38)
for the Kirkland it's 8,000mg of EPA+DHA per dollar (180 capsules x 684mg/capsule @ $15.39)

Twice as much of the good stuff per dollar with the Kirkland brand.

edit2: hang on...

If you get the Carlson's you linked to but get it from Amazon and use the 15% discount, it's 6,259mg/dollar (12 capsules x 700mg @$13.42)

u/AbiRNormal · 1 pointr/Paleo

I've been taking Carlson Fish oil for years. I discovered it one day at my local specialty health food store. They are the kind of store that scrutinizes what they put on their shelf and refuse to sell crappy supplements. The no smell is what you are seeking out right? Just a quality product for the price. Reviews will answer all your questions.

Hope this helps.
